THE FORGING OF THE SUN, by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER Poet's Biography First Line: Undying sun of the years, pour forth thy blood Last Line: To be our song, our glory, and our fate. Subject(s): Sun | ||||||||
UNDYING sun of the years, pour forth thy blood Till men grow drunken with the strength thereof: Let us be wrapped in flame as in a hood. And perish and be reborn in fiery love. Sun that grows pale each winter through the bold Death-struggle of desire we recreate On the worn anvils of will, your power old To be our song, our glory, and our fate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SERPENT SUN EYE BEWITCHING MY EYE by AIME CESAIRE ARIZONA POEMS: 2.
